Lucas sat down on a chair, his expression noble and indifferent. "Eat first."

Aveline walked over and snatched the utensils from his hand, slamming them onto the table. "Lucas, how did you get in here?"

Lucas looked at her calmly, his mood inexplicably lifting at her angry expression. "Do you think changing the password lock will keep me out? As long as I want to, I can come in anytime."

His deep, magnetic voice made her feel as though he was talking about something else entirely. Remembering everything that happened last night, she became even angrier. "You want to eat? No way! None of for you!"

She moved his bowl and utensils away and sat at the farthest spot from him, eating on her own.

Lucas watched her and suddenly chuckled, "Aveline, aren't you being childish?"

Aveline said nothing. What could she do? She couldn't manage him with either force or kindness. She had no way to handle Lucas!

Lucas wasn't angry; he just watched her with amusement. When she finished eating, he finally said, "I've found some information about the person who wanted to harm you."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aveline paused in her eating and looked at him. "Who is it?"

Lucas didn't continue speaking immediately but gazed at her intently. Aveline pursed her lips and pushed the bowl and utensils back in front of him.

Lucas took a sip of milk before saying, "His name is Darren Jones. The day he came looking for you, he had just been released from prison."

Aveline was stunned, her brows furrowing. "I don't know this person."

"I know," Lucas said. "After that one time, he disappeared without a trace. He's good at hiding. Without solid evidence, even if the police suspect him, they can't do anything." Aveline was silent for a moment before asking, "Is it related to the Tudor family?"

She had always thought that Darren came after her because she was. Lucas' wife, making her an unintended target.

Lucas said, "It's still unclear."

Aveline's expression grew more serious. "Then it's very likely related to the Tudor family. I might have been implicated because of you. Lucas, just how many enemies do you have?" Lucas looked at her. "What? Are you scared?"

Aveline laughed as if she had heard a joke. "He wants to kill me. Anyone would be scared, right?"

The smile faded from Lucas' lips. "Being scared won't help. If he's targeted you, he won't give up easily. You kept wanting to divorce. It would be better to stay by my side so I can protect you in secret." Aveline replied, "You can still protect me after we divorce. After all, I was implicated because of you."

Lucas retorted, "If we're divorced, why should I protect you? What would you be to me then?"

"You!"

Aveline was infuriated. She watched him eat and once again moved his bowl and utensils away.

He ate finished without showing any shame.

Lucas said nothing, got up, and left directly.

Aveline lost her appetite. The feeling of having a knife at her throat. was truly unpleasant.

"Darren Jones..." She thought hard about this person but had no. impression of him.

He had just been released from prison. What had he been imprisoned for?

Aveline looked up to ask Lucas, but he was already gone.

She remained silent for a while, then stood up, tidied up a bit, and walked to the door. Staring at the password lock, she took out her phone and made a call.
